That is a tough question, because Oscar Wilde wrote a great story. It's hilarious because of the way that he wrote it. At first the reader believes that a standard, creepy ghost story is going to be told, but that notion is flipped on its head when the Otises refuse to be scared by the ghost and even frustrate the ghost with the help that they offer. The story is made even funnier by the fact that it is told from the ghost's perspective....http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/given-choice-which-part-novel-would-you-like-481688Mon, 29 Jun 2015 18:57:56 PSTIf given a choice which part of the novel would you like to modify and whyhttp://www.enotes.com/homework-help/given-choice-which-part-novel-would-you-like-481688

Otis, “the American Minister,” whose family moves into Canterville Chase, his wife, teenage daughter Virginia, son Washington and twin boys referred to as “The Star and Stripes,” who Wilde describes as “delightful boys, and, with the exception of the worthy Minister, the only true republicans of the family.” In addition, and of some...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/characteristics-otis-family-sir-simon-ghost-359989Wed, 4 Mar 2015 11:17:56 PSTThe characters in Oscar Wilde’s story The Canterville Ghost include...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/brief-description-characters-canterville-ghost-462418

At this point in the story, Virginia initially believes that the figure in the Tapestry Chamber is her mother's maid, working in that room as she did on occasion. However, upon further inspection, she realizes that it is the Canterville Ghost, behaving in his typical negative manner (rattling chains, groaning through keyholes, etc.). The exact quote is as follows: "As she was running past the Tapestry Chamber, the door of which happened to be...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-did-virginia-notice-while-running-past-461101Sat, 26 Oct 2013 17:04:27 PSTOne of the basic conflicts in The Canterville Ghost is the collision...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-conflict-canterville-ghost-461184
One of the basic conflicts in The Canterville Ghost is the collision between modernity and antiquity. The ghost represents the remnants of the past. The manner in which Sir Simon would easily terrify the servants and other members of the traditional classes is part of the past that is upturned when the Americans move into The Chase. The American embrace of modernity is where the fundamental conflict lies. The ghost cannot fathom ho little...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-conflict-canterville-ghost-461184Sat, 26 Oct 2013 12:25:01 PSTWhat is the conflict in The Canterville Ghost?http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-conflict-canterville-ghost-461184

In Oscar Wilde's Canterville Ghost, the Otis family, generally speaking, strikes me as anything but crazy. As I see it, the purpose of the Otis family is meant to create a contrast between American rationalism and the more whimsical imaginations of the British. Mr. Otis, despite being warned about the ghost, buys Canterville Chase anyway. When the ghost clanks its chains, Mr. Otis offers a practical solution: oil the chains. Later in the...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/do-think-mr-otis-was-crazy-439984Sat, 15 Jun 2013 17:26:07 PSTIn Oscar Wilde's Canterville Ghost, do you think Mr.Otis was crazy?http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/do-think-mr-otis-was-crazy-439984
